Oil contamination leads to failure. I guarantee you have **** in your oil pan from that. Since you have run the motor after it went, people are right and at this point you don't have much to lose other than ****ing up more **** and making a rebuild more costly. Pushing that **** into your head will be a nightmare. You can already look forward to replacing everything that oil touches - lines, oil cooler, pump, and depending possibly turbo. Best of luck

like most said... what do we have to lose now... it either works or doesnt. so why not try for free. Car has sat for 6 years and time to get it working.

nothing is contaminated the piece that blew out came out and a whole piece. and if **** was contaminated it would already be from the first motor that had crankwalk in this car. the whole reason it needed to be replaced. and like i said new motor doesnt even have 1 mile on it yet.

will post back up after we try it out this weekend.
